Seat Problem

I enjoy driving my fit,

but i am getting taller and the stock seats are get uncomfortable with my knees always bent; while the driver seat is pushed to the furthest with the steering wheel at medium level.

any recommendations for:

aftermarket seats
brackets
and harnesses

inlcude brand and price


thanks

Remove the front seat rail bolts. Place three-four 5/8" washers under the rail, reinsert bolts. It provides a bit more thigh support - a bit more comfort. Racking the seat back a knotch helps as well. Many have complained, some have sold their Fit, however, there most likely is a sweet spot that will work.

haha I was wondering the same thing...

I'm 6' and yes...the Fit isn't the most comfortable thing for long trips (I've drivin it cross country quite a few times, unfortunately)

But I've mostly had problems with lumbar support (which a small pillow does wonders)

I've seen one fit with Bride brand seat rails/brackets with Recaro seats...but it's hard to say how well you will fit without sitting in that particular setup.
